Whether or not the Large Hadron Collider reveals the long-awaited Higgs particle, it is likely to lead to discoveries that add to, or challenge, the standard model of particle physics. Data produced ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is currently the world’s most sophisticated and advanced particle accelerator. And — you guessed it — it’s also the largest. The LHC can be found at the European ...

At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), physicists accelerate particles to the highest energies and in the greatest numbers that humanity has ever achieved. We smash them together at greater than ...

When researchers operating the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, outside Geneva discovered the Higgs boson, it ended a decades-long effort to fill the final gap in physicists’ catalog of matter’s ...

When two high-energy protons from the counter-circulating beams of the LHC collide, the entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons is virtually identical to the entropy of the hadrons that ...

Back in the 1990s and the 2000s, the United States was the energy leader in high-energy physics. By accelerating protons and antiprotons to collide at 2 TeV of combined energy -- at speeds of ...

The King of Lego Geeks crown must go to physicist Sasche Mehlhase from the Niels Bohr Institute; at the very least he serves a nomination. Mehlhase has created a detailed Lego model of the ATLAS ...

There was a huge amount of excitement when the Higgs boson was first spotted back in 2012—a discovery that bagged the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2013. The particle completed the so-called standard ...

Ever wanted to build a particle accelerator in your basement? Well if one University of Liverpool PhD student gets his way, you may soon be able to do that – with LEGO. Of course, it's not a working ...

The discovery of the Higgs Boson was a triumph for the Standard Model, which predicted how the particle should be formed, behave, and decay within the collision debris of the Large Hadron Collider. In ...
